Tho rosulls of tho experiments, will probably bo known regarding Harl lelts hi about thirty days, and the coniplete data on nil varieties will lie complied about Christmas time.

A practical method of dotor 111 In In tho proper time to pick and tho proper method handling, will mean thousands of dollars lo the orcHrdNtH of the valley. The tesls are too involved to be do serrihed In detail but the general plan In as follows: The pears are picked every four days. They are then subjected to various chemical tests, -ibe sulfur test, starch urn! ta nin tents, specific gravity ,.sts, ete., etc. IVars lire also picked and sub jectcd to seven dirrel'eul kinds of cubl siorage, where tile humidity is low Iilul high, the temperature low anil lilgli mid medium, etc., cle.

Thov lielieve that sclieme, that (lermaiis are a to rule 'the world hy compiest. That is why this, war must continue until the allies are victorious, why Gei'- nian autocracy must he eliminated, before there can be permanent peace. Only defeat can remove (ierinans. As -President llson told the pope, "this ago ny must not bo gone thru with again." Any peace that loaves (iornian autocracy in tho saddle, that leaves tier- man militarism unsniashed, the world.

Admiral Tirpitz is (noted r.s saying: Submarines will force Croat Britain to surrender and tho Oerman fleet will then exact from America Indemnities enough to pay the whole cost of tile war. General Von Pissing, late left a memorandum in which pose or another war: Tho strategic aim of tills present war la lo gain room for the concen tration and advance of the (iorinan armies in the new war against Eng land and France. . , ' (ierman Interests absolutely require tho absorption of ail present Bel glum.

Von Stein, Prussian minister of war stated in the reichstag: I do not foster the hopo that international peace will prevail after Ihe war. So long ns tho Interests of states clash, there will he wars. The pros pects for uninterrupted pence aro not very brilliant. Count Zu Pevontlow, leading Oerman military critic, says: What wo need nnd must have Is such a degree ot German naval power as shall guarantoo lis immediate superiority over possible enemies on tho seas at tho beginning of hostilities. essary to us. )r. Pciderieh Halm, loader of the agrarian party, member of the reichstag, recently said in a speech before that body:' " "' lias monarchical Germany failed? world as a conqueror. Wo are today In real German peace. We hope those who keep thoir norvo, and eontinuo to faco cowards. Lot us keep to Bismarck's tnro of battle and conquest. We must ltrley. Wo must have fresh territories for emigration in th MJfc Wo must not roturn any lands wo havo conquered. " Count Westarp, conservative) leader, said in the reich stag: We must also secure ouraelves for the future. New sacrifices require new compensations, new demands. A sufficient war Indemnity Is neces sary lo arm against the dangers of the future. Eriedorich N:uiimnii, German journalist, sneers at the peace idea, and says: Tho moment tiie present war ponies begin for the next war, not only by armaments, but also hy tho storage ot grain nnd raw materials on a scnlo hitherto undreamed of. Tho system of fortified trenches will become a permanent Institution. The semi-official Cologne We are entitled to a thumping war pnya It. Thoso slates which havo sacrificed pay It. Therefore, America, which has earned thousands of millions through ammunitions and supplies, will havo to The semi-official Taeglielio Ivundschau of Berlin quotes tlie proverb, "Jlold tight what you have and take what you can get" as the maxim of Germany and 1ie "whole peace program of tho Gorman people," continuing: Therefore, Immediately peaco Is concluded, tho German authorities, without troubling themselves about agreements nnd conventions, when tlieso aro found to bumper tho uatlonnl requirements, must devoto them selves w hole-hearledly to llio policy of "take." The Hamburg Eremdenblatt echoes those sentiments- and savs: I'Mrst or nil, however, we must assure our preponderance In Kuropn. I'hat accomplished, wo shall urge our authorities to establish by any and every means within their power and without the slightest regard or con sideration for nnybody, our domlsion over the seas." To provide soldiers for the next war, Gorman widows are ordered to marry, so their children may fight in the future. The ('refold General An.eiger, in a recent issue, contains the following astounding statement: There lire more than a million war widows In Germiiny. They cannot be allowed lo remain widows for two reasons. In the first place, the em pire looks lo them to provide nn army for Germany's future defense, and in the next place, many of them are attending lo tho business of their Into husbands without possessing the necessary knowledge. "All the w idows must, therefore, to wounded or otherwise unfit soldiers. They may rest assured, that tho national coininliteo for the remarriage of war widows will handle the bus iness Willi the lequlslle discretion. The committee will pay special atten tion to men In ihe hospitals, and will Insert anonymous advertisements in tho papers generally read by war widows. It may be added that the iitlll7.atlon of crippled soldiers nnd wnr itrlcken women ill the Interests ot tho empire's future wars has the cor dial approval of our great lllndcnburg. Space forbids reproduction of countless other German quotations showing the sham character of Gorman peace efforts, justifying the. president's declaration that no peace is possible with the present Gorman government. It is up to the I'liiteil States to carry out tho grim task of making permanent peace a possibility by do st roving a government that knows neither right, justice ,,or nicicy, by superior armed might the only language Germans undciblaud or respect.

ESTERLY BUYS One of the most important mining deals in the history of southern Ore gon has been consummated within the last day or two In the sale ot the famous Logan placer mine, situated on the Grants Pass-Crescent City road, about two miles northwest ot Waldo, to George M. Esterly and as sociates of Seattle. The purchase price Is $140,000.' An option on the property was tak en by Mr. Esterly about ten months ago. Since that time an Immense amount of sampling lias been done, the first pits, numbering over 100, be Ing put down and sampled by Lewis Lavensnler, representing Mr. Esterly and associates. The avcrago value of the ground as disclosed by this ex tensive sampling has not been an nounced, but the fact that the parties want the option by the tjrms of which final payment on the property need not be made till December, 1918, and are closing It by final paymont at this time, indicates their satisfaction with the showing made. On Larger Scale. ine cnange in ownership means that the property will he operated on a considerably larger scale than here tofore. The problem in this district Is the water supply. The Logan mine owns practicully all the available wa ter. Tho new owners Intend enlarg Ing the ditches and expect td increase very materially tlie yardage handled annually. As tho property has netted nearly $40,000 annually, Mr. Ester ly's plans whin consummated mean that the property will be a very largo producer. ' .. " Tho mine Is one of the oldest In tho state. It wus In operation beforo there was even a village on the present site or urants rass. in the early days supplies were brought in and the mine output was shipped by way of Crescent City. Its early history is contemporaneous with the gold rush to Jacksonville, where $38,000,000 of placer output was recorded hy the Wolls-Fnrgo Express company within a few years.

James Lbgan, the seller of tho prop erty; nnd his mother-in-law; Mrs. Simmons, who formerly owned the property and has lived on the ground for nearly half a century,' have' op orated the property for many years.' ; Only about 2 per cent 'of'tho'placer ground In the Logan ownership has been worked' up.

Care should be taken to strain the juice through a find cloth so no lem on pulp gets In, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every wom an knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and ren-.ovo such blemishes ns freckles, sallowness and tan and is the idea: skin softener, smoothencr and beautifier. Just try it! Get three ocunces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion and massage it dally Into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to whiten, soften, freshen and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It Is truly marvelous to smoothen rough red hands.
